Page 1 of3

Ryan: Below is the proposed briefing schedule for the week of January 3rd. I have assumed that topics that have already been discussed at the transition staff level will not be discussed again prior to Governor's briefings (e.g., IT, debt, DHS- Long-term care). Let me know if I need to change that assumption. Linda Nelson will work with Dorothy Moore to put these on to the calendar.

If we maintain this schedule, DHS- Medical Assistance will be the only remaining item to discuss with the Governor before starting comeback briefings (the UW I HEAB budget requests are also outstanding, but will be folded into a comeback briefing on that topic). While we are still pulling together the list of comebacks, we estimate a need for approximately 20 to 30 hours with the Governor before January 28th to complete all comebacks. Assuming three hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays for January 1Oth through the 28th, we should be in relatively good shape. However, if more analysis and review arises out of the comeback briefings, we may need to schedule more time.

At sorne point toward the middle I end of January, we should review all budget decisions again with the Governor. We will also have to revisit certain decisions as new revenue estimates are finalized in late January I early February.

Keep in mind that we also need to finalize an approach on the FY11 situation.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.

MEETING BRIEFING Tuesday, June 9

Event: Phone into Charlie Sykes, Jerry Bader, Vicki McKenna Drafted by: Cullen Werwie

• The fiscal reforms are working even before they've been implemented. More than 100 school districts out of 400 have entered contracts that gain many of the concessions the Governor called for and have already saved over $155 million.

• And they are making reforms that go beyond savings: o Palmyra: In addition to financial concessions, the district will have new flexibility

with staffing. "The elimination of contract language on seniority allows administrators more flexibility to staff the classrooms in their buildings," Schlender (School Superintendent) said.

o Menomenee Falls: Switching from WEA Trust to Humana will save the district $1.3 million per year. Teachers will contribute 8% to 15% of the premium. The second year ofthe new contract also includes merit pay language and language to guide layoffs away from seniority, Marty said. By requiring teachers to pay their share of the retirement plan as of July 1, the district saved another $1.5 million per year, he said

• Local governments and schools could save at least $724 million annually, or over $1.4 billion over the biennium.

• Recent examples also show why these reforms are so important. o Hartland: The teachers voted to switch insurance providers from WEA Trust to save

the district $700,000, but the executive committee of the union that "represents" the unions said no.

o Middleton-Cross Plains School District: The school board has spent $300,000 in the last year fighting a grievance filed by the teacher's union for a teacher that was fired after an investigation found he viewed pornography at school. It has been in arbitration for over a year.

• Job creators recognize that Wisconsin is changing for the better o CEO Ranking jump o Credit Rating Contrast with Federal Government o 25,000 new jobs created in the private sector o Balanced budget that virtually eliminates the structural deficit, freezes property

taxes, is a net decrease in taxes, and maintains vital services.

Dear Angie:

Below and attached you will find background information for Governor Walker's remarks at the Donors Forum of Wisconsin's Day in Madison on Wednesday, June 8 from 9:50-10:20 AM at the Madison Club, 5 East Wilson Street. We are delighted Governor Walker will be joining us as our morning keynote speaker.

Attached you will find the following documents. ~About DFW ~ DFW Day in Madison Event Flyer ~ Agenda ~ RSVPs

EVENT OVERVIEW The event is co-chaired by Michael Grebe of The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation. The event theme is: Government & Philanthropy: What's the Connection? Our commitment is to create a formal platform, through Donors Forum of Wisconsin, to promote dialogue between the state's philanthropic sector and government officials. This is a closed-door meeting with no press. We will have a photographer and would like to get a few photos of the Governor and Michael Grebe and other DFW representatives. If the Governor could arrive at the Madison Club at 9:50AM that would be ideal. We kindly ask the Governor to provide 10-15 minutes of remarks on specific examples of how government and philanthropy can work together in new cross-sector partnerships to address the most severe issues facing our state and create prosperous communities in Wisconsin. During last year's campaign, Gov. Walker spoke to at our Community Foundation CEO Retreat in May to share his vision for partnerships with the philanthropic community. This would be an update one year later as Governor of the State of Wisconsin. Below I've included some key facts about philanthropy. Following the Governor's remarks, Michael Grebe of The Bradley Foundation will be moderating a panel discussion with cabinet officials on opportunities for future public philanthropic partnerships.

AUDIENCE Approximately 40 foundation CEOs and trustees from community foundations, corporate philanthropy, private and independent foundations from across the state will be in the audience. Please see attached RSVP list of participants.

At the event, we will be releasing our Wisconsin Gives Report which provides the latest trends and information on the social and economic value of philanthropy in Wisconsin. As I mentioned we'd love to have Governor's staff members attend the event to learn more about philanthropy.

By week's end, I will send you an electronic copy of this report as well as some local examples of current publicprivate partnerships involving our funders and the state. In the meantime if you have any questions or need more information, please let me know --thank you!

Best regards,

~messages about Donors Forum of Wisconsin and philanthrop~

o Donors Forum of Wisconsin is a statewide nonprofit association of over 130 grantmaking organizations, including community foundations, corporate foundations and giving programs, family, independent and operational foundations and individuals of wealth giving $25,000 annually to unaffiliated non profits. At the Donors Forum of Wisconsin, we pride ourselves in convening conversations, which bring together representatives from a full range of disciplines, experience, and political views to discuss pressing issues facing the community. DFW facilitates opportunities for grantmakers and public policymakers to come together to leverage dollars, convene around issues, and develop strategic partnerships.

o With more than 1,300 foundations in the state and over $475 million in grants in 2009, philanthropy in Wisconsin is creating opportunities and a better quality of life. Philanthropy supports educational institutions, social services, economic-development organizations, workforce- training programs, health clinics, arts and culture, and neighborhood revitalization.

o Philanthropy represents the independent, innovative investment of resources to build our communities. The sector's flexibility and innovative investments are building stronger communities and getting results.

o Independence: Philanthropy uses private resources to do public good. Philanthropy's independence allows it to takes risks, achieve greater results, and affect change.

o Innovator: Philanthropy leverages resources, flexibility, and creativity to address society's most

challenging problems. Wisconsin's foundations play an important role as incubators and catalysts for innovative solutions to critical issues facing our state in areas supporting educational institutions, social services, economic-development organizations, workforce- training programs, health clinics, arts and culture, and neighborhood revitalization. Foundations have the capacity to come up with ideas and funding to take risks that government can't afford.

o Investment: Philanthropy strategically invests in long term solutions to the larger problems facing society. Philanthropy works with the nonprofit, private and public sectors to make the strategic investments to support and enhance the health and well-being of Wisconsin residents. Each year across Wisconsin, scores of charitable grantmaking foundations research, evaluate and invest in innovative strategies to address critical needs in communities.

o Today, private funders have a critical role and vested interest in helping Wisconsin government to create vibrant communities and support organizations and services that employ workers who can help move our economy from recovering to robust. Philanthropy can take risks where government and business can't or won't. It is an engine of job creation and innovation, which has been critical in helping engineer an economic recovery that sticks.

8/2/2011

o Philanthropy can bring important assets to the table, beyond money, to help policymakers find points of leverage that can significantly improve public. Charitable foundations bring much more than money; they bring expertise, a wealth of connections and their reputation as neutral conveners and honest brokers. They also can be more risk-tolerant than public bodies, and they can provide important political neutrality.

o Philanthropy and Government Points of Connection:

o Expertise: Foundations look at best practices in the field, the latest academic research and its current applications, and how other communities, states and nations are tackling similar issues. Their independence and resources enable them to take the time to thoroughly study an issue, learn from failures as well as successes, and develop perspectives informed by experience rather than ideology. Government can reach out to philanthropy and invite funders to participate in task forces and committees addressing specific issues, enabling all parties to identify early on what opportunities exist for philanthropic partnerships.

o Connections; Because foundations take such care to research and understand the issues that they fund, they make connections with others who are doing- and funding- similar work.

o Reputation and Convening Power: Because of their independence, charitable foundations often are seen as neutral parties who can bring together those with differing perspectives for constructive discussion and consultation.

o Taking risks: Charitable foundations frequently are more risk-tolerant than public entities, owing

in part to their independence and financial resources. Consequently, they are in an ideal position to fund innovation and test ideas.

PUBLIC INVITED TO "WALK WITH WALKER" First Lady Tonette Walker to boost awareness of state's trails, health benefits of walking

MADISON- First Lady Tonette Walker today announced that High Cliff State Park in Sherwood will be the site of her first "Walk with Walker" event on Saturday, June 4 at 10 a.m. "Walk with Walker" is the First Lady's new initiative to promote and explore the state's abundance of scenic landscapes and hiking trails while also promoting health and fitness. The First Lady invites the public to join her as she experiences Wisconsin's most picturesque trails, parks, and landscapes including both the well-known sites and the hidden gems.

"Wisconsin is full of beautiful trail systems and parks that offer a wide variety of activities, including hiking, walking and running, and are a natural place to be active and healthy," said Mrs. Walker. "No matter where you are located in Wisconsin, a trail that offers both a safe exercise outlet and incredible scenery is just a short distance away."

High Cliff State Park Superintendent Carolyn Morgen will join Mrs. Walker and serve as the guide for the 1.7 mile

walk on the Lime Kiln trail. The trail traverses the Niagara Escarpment, a significant geological formation that extends from Lake Winnebago and Door County in Wisconsin to Niagara Falls, New York. High Cliff State Park is the only state-owned recreational area on Lake Winnebago, which is Wisconsin's largest inland lake.

"The Department of Tourism is honored to team up with the First Lady to promote Wisconsin's trails and parks and the benefits they provide," said Tourism Secretary Stephanie Klett who will also be participating in the walk. "Whether at the state, county or city level, we have done a stand-up job to develop the infrastructure that lets residents and visitors alike enjoy the state's natural scenic beauty. It's what makes us a leader in the nation."

The June 4 walk is free to the public and the state park admission fee will be waived for those taking part in the event. High Cliff State Park is located at N7630 State Park Road in Sherwood. Participating walkers should meet in the parking lot at the Lime Kiln trailhead. The 1.7 mile loop offers a level lakeside segment as well as steeper climbs, descents and stairways on the escarpment segment.

BC-WI--Wisconsin Budget-Unions,120 URGENT Judge voids Wisconsin collective bargaining law Eds: APNewsNow.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) --A Wisconsin judge has struck down a law taking away nearly all collective bargaining rights from most state workers . . Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi ruled Thursday that Republican legislators violated Wisconsin's open meetings law during the run up to passage. She says that renders the law void.

The law pushed by Gov. Scott Walker takes away all bargaining rights except over base salary for teachers and other public workers.

The decision is not the end of the legal fight. The state Supreme Court has scheduled arguments for June 6 to determine whether it will take the same case.

Lawmakers could also pass the law again in order to nullify open meeting concerns that led to the judge's ruling Thursday.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) --A Wisconsin judge has struck down a law taking away nearly all collective bargaining rights from most state workers.

Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi ruled Thursday that Republican legislators violated Wisconsin's open meetings law during the run up to passage. She says that renders the law void.

Here is the draft dinner agenda and seating, sorry this took so long. If anything changes it shouldn't change dramatically. If the Governor needs to leave at 8:30 that is fine- we tried to make things as compact as possible to protect his time. We hope he can arrive for the reception; I think your message today said 6-6:15 aJ.Tival? I have noted your phone number and please call me when you get close so I can get security to open that back door. The driver and troopers CAN park in the back alley for a time if needed. If you'd like, I can check you in for your rooms and get the keys so that is one less step and you'll have the keys inunediately (and you won't have to go to the lobby where all the guests will be arriving). I believe Dorothy is sending in the credit card authorization f01m, so you won't need to physically be there to check in. There is a back elevator and path to all the rooms the events are in, so I'll be there to guide you that way and avoid any of the public spaces. If he does leave before the dinner concludes, I reconunend leaving that back way as well so no one knows the Governor is staying there (the room elevators are right in the ballroom foyer) and you can avoid the public spaces again - I can help with that, just let me know. I'll keep an eye out for the VA troopers call.

"Wisconsin is full of beautiful trail systems and parks that offer a wide variety of activities,

including hiking, walking and running, and are a natural place to be active and healthy," said

Mrs. Walker. "No matter where you are located in Wisconsin, a trail that offers both a safe

exercise outlet and incredible scenery is just a short distance away."

Attachments: Dairy Mfg. lTC Budget Motion. doc

Team,

Rep. AI Ott Uoined by Reps. Nerison and Ripp) is offering this amendment to the Governor's budget proposal (see LFB summary, page 189, Item #12).

Commerce had originally requested this amendment to allow coops to receive the dairy manufacturing tax credit on a perfacility rather than per-entity basis. Rep. Ott believes the credit should apply per entity, whether a coop or other entity.

Commerce is concerned that granting the credits per facility for all recipients will dilute the pool of funds available. Issuing the credits per facility (for all entities) will favor larger firms, while mom-and-pop operations benefit more from the per entity limit.

We are checking with the Cheesemakers to see what their position on this issue is, but they are likely split on the issue.

--Jason

From: Volz, David J - COMMERCE Sent: Friday, April 29, 2011 4:06 PM To: Culotta, Jason - GOV Subject: FW: A. Ott, Nerison & Ripp Budget Motion Request

Commerce staff feedback on this motion:

To base the credit cap on a per facility basis without regard to organizational structure is going to further dilute the benefit of the credit to those entities and smaller businesses that have only one facility.

For example, for the round of dairy credits that was just completed, each non-cooperative eligible applicant received 18.27% of the maximum credit they could have received had there been unlimited resources. So, a dairy business that had a total of $174,083 in expenditures in 2010 could have received a maximum credit of 10% or $17,408. Instead, under the "pro-rata" formula, the business receives $3,181 or 18.27% of the maximum credit. The mix of applicants included credits going to each of four facilities for Marathon Cheese and eight facilities for BeiGioioso Cheese, both S-corporations. Had the credit cap been based on a "per entity" basis for S-corps, the allocation percentage for each of the other entities would have increased. Had the credit cap been based on a "per facility" basis for everyone, regardless of structure, the percentage would have decreased, thereby diluting the credit for single-site businesses. A C-Corporation, such as Kraft Foods, could have claimed more credits because it has more than one dairy manufacturing site in the state.

With respect to making both appropriations continuing, it is more of a DOR/DOA issue. I assume DOR would prefer to keep a sum-sufficient for greater administratively flexibility. DOA may be receptive to making both appropriations "continuing" for fiscal accountability reasons, but yet, recognizing that there needs to be some administrative flexibility, which a continuing appropriation might provide. I do not necessarily want to speak for those agencies.

Joint Committee on Finance

2011-2012 Budget Motion Request Date: April28, 2011

Legislator: A. Ott, Nerison, Ripp Staff Contact: Erin Ruby

Legislator's JFC Designee: Rep. LeMahieu & Rep. Nygren

Statement of Motion Intent: Provide a short description summarizing the intent of your motion.

Amend proposed budget language to clarify that all eligible businesses- regardless of organizational structure- can claim the Dahy Manufacturing Facility Investment Tax Credit up to a maximum credit of $200,000 per facility. [LRB Budget Amendment draft attached.]

Also, convert the appropriation from which the credit is paid to cooperative processors fi·om a sum sufficient appropriation, to a continuing appropriation [s. 20:835 (2)(bp)]. This would mirror the change proposed by the Governor for non-cooperative processor credit appropriation [s. 20.835 (2)(bn)].

Agency: Department of Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection (DATCP)/General Fund Taxes- Income & Franchise Taxes (Fiscal Bureau Summary- pg. 189)

Summary: Provide a thorough description. Please attach all supporting documentation and talking points.

The Daily Manufacturing Facility Investment Tax Credit was created in the 2007-09 biennial budget. As originally crafted, the I 0-percent credit was available to businesses that made eligible expenditures to modernize or expand their dahy processing facilities, but was limited to a maximum credit of$200,000 per business entity, regardless of the number of processing facilities owned and modemized or expanded by that entity.

In follow-up legislation, Assembly Republicans attempted to clarify that cooperative dairy manufacturing facilities would also be eligible for the credit (2007 AB 763 & 2009 AB 34). Cooperatives are responsible for the vast majority of dairy processing in Wisconsin. Credits would be passed through to members based on the amount of milk each member delivered to the cooperative.

As negotiations on this change progressed, there was agreement between the cooperative and proprietary dai1y processors that the credit would be available on a "per facility" basis to all eligible claimants. In other words, the credit was converted from an aggregate maximum of $200,000 per claimant/processor to a maximum credit of$200,000 per modernized or expanded facility. A level playing field was of primary impmtance to both the cooperative and proprietary dai1y processors. [Note- despite a change to a "per facility" credit, the total amount of credits that can be allocated statewide remains capped in statute. For FY 2011-12 that amount is $700,000 for cooperatives and $700,000 for non-cooperative facilities.]

The credit was ultimately extended to cooperatives and other dairy processors on a per facility basis via 2009 Act2. Act 2 was the budget repair bill introduced, passed, and signed into law by the Democrats in 48 hours in Febma1y 2009.

The Governor's budget proposes a change to the structure of the credit by specifYing that only cooperatives would be eligible to claim the credit on a per facility basis ($200,000 maximum credit per facility), while all other entities would be limited to an aggregate maximum of$200,000 per entity regardless of the number of facilities. This change eliminates the level playing field agreed to by all parties at the outset.

Fmther, the changes proposed would be effective with the stmt of the 2011 tax year, which would be nearly half over by the time the budget is signed into law. This changes the rules of the game in the middle of the tax year for those non-cooperative dairy processors that may have taken on modernization and expansion eff01ts with the anticipation of receiving the investment tax credit on a per facility basis.

This change was proposed by the Depmtment of Commerce. The Department states that when the cooperative language was added, the credit was extended on a per facility basis to all pass-though business entities (co-ops, S-carps, LLCs, and partnerships), but C-corps were overlooked and thereby not provided the opp01tunity to access the credit on a per facility basis.

Rather than skewing access to the credit to the significant advantage of cooperatives (as proposed by Commerce and the Governor), the better alternative is to clarifY that all business entities, regardless of orgm1ization structure, are eligible for the credit on a per facility basis.

Also, conve1t the appropriation from which the credit is paid to cooperative processors from a sum sufficient appropriation, to a continuing appropriation [s. 20.835 (2)(bp)]. This would mirror the change proposed by the Governor for non-cooperative processor credit appropriation [s. 20.835 (2)(bn)]. Again, this is an issue of ensure equity between the two different types of processors.

Both Cooperative Network and the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association are fully supportive of this modification.

Attachment- LRB budget amendment language to clarifY all business entities are eligible for the credit on a per facility basis. Note: language does not address the change from a sum sufficient to a continuing appropriation.

Fiscal Impact:

None. All statutory maximum credit allocations remain in place. If claims are made that exceed the statutmy maximum allocation, claims must be pro-rated.

The largest political campaign spender in America is not a megacorporation, such as Wai-Mart, Microsoft, or Exxon Mobil. It isn't an industry association, like the American Bankers Association or the National Association of Realtors. It's not even a labor federation, like the AFL-CIO. If you combine the campaign spending of all those entities it does not match the amount spent by the National Education Association, the public-sector labor union that represents some 2.3 million K--12 public school teachers and nearly a million education support workers (bus drivers, custodians, food service employees), retirees, and college student members. NEA members alone make up more than half of union members working for local governments, by far the most unionized segment of the U.S. economy."

Attached is a letter from the OSER Director to Secretary Huebsch that provides some clarity on the implementation plan related to collective bargaining agreements and development of a compensation plan once the Budget Repair bill passes. It is consistent with remarks made by the Governor and testimony given before the Finance Committee. In essence, it indicates that once the budget repair bill passes all provisions in current collective bargaining agreements will remain in effect until a new comp plan for represented staff is developed and approved by JCOER. The only exception of course are the three items that are modified by the budget repair bill- employee health contributions, employee pension contributions and the collection of union dues.

The point is, not much will change until a new comp plan is developed and approved by JOCER. Development of the comp plan will require work and input from many agencies and is expected to take several months.

Feel free to share this as you wish.

Section 230.12(3), Wis. Stats., directs the Director to prepare and submit the Compensation Plan to the Joint Committee on Employment Relations for its approval.

I want to clarify that pursuant to my authotity under s. 9143 of the Bill, with the exception of dues deductions, employee health insurance premium deductions, and employee contributions to the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS), all other provisions of the master Agreements, as well as provisions of local agreements, and other memoranda of understanding and negotiating notes, will continue at least through June 30, 2011. I want to emphasize that current provisions related to items such as annual leave, sabbatical, supplemental health insurance conversion credits (SHICC), and overtime will also continue. Contract provisions that continue will remain in place until a new Compensation Plan covering rep!'esented employees is approved by the Joint Committee on Employment Relations. Wis.

6. Will the budget repair bill undue the rules regarding seniority status during layoffs? For instance, if someone with more seniority gets laid off, will they still be able to "bump" someone with less seniority doing a differentjob?

7. Will similar workplace rules negotiated into statute by the unions still apply?

Assuming that the Budget Repair Bill passes as initially proposed, eligibility for SHICC and PDT will continue for at least the remainder of the 2009-11 biennium under the OSER Director's discretion to continue certain provisions of the former collective bargaining agreements. Thereafter provisions will be governed by the compensation plan, applicable statutes, or administrative code.

Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna heads to Madison to weigh in on Wisconsin state budget

11:05 PM, Apr. 23,20111

To date, municipal leaders across the state have done a fair job sidestepping the disputes between Gov. Scott Walker and organized labor over his push to limit

8/2/2011

collective bargaining by public-sector employees.

The governor's proposed two-year budget, however, is a different matter.

Now that they've had a chance to compare the cuts in the budget to the expected savings- if his legislation increasing government workers' pension and health care contributions survives court challenges -many, including Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna, are ready to speak out.

Hanna is headed to Madison on Wednesday for a press conference. He and several mayors want to call attention to the rough financial picture their cash-strapped cities face. The sponsor is the Urban Alliance, a component of the League of Wisconsin Municipalities.

"It's not as simple as it is being portrayed," said Hanna of how Republican lawmakers

suggest the infusion of employee contributions will offset the impending cuts in the budget plan. "I understand the concept of giving us more tools. It's something that mayors have been asking for from other governors in the past. I appreciate the effort to fill our toolbox, but the tools that are being presented in the cuts don't add up."

Appleton's cuts come to about $1.9 million under the governor's budget, while its projected surplus with the pension contributions nearly totals $800,000. The net effect is a $1 million loss for the city, according to an analysis by Lisa Remiker, the city's finance director.

Walker has talked about rolling back costly clean water regulations to give local governments relief.

But Hanna said that does little to balance the budgets of the city and numerous other communities whose utilities charge user fees to achieve state and federally

mandated clean water goals.

I am getting the exact numbers emailed shortly, but Corrections just called me and if last years overtime numbers held steady and we were out from under the collective bargaining contracts, which allow for sick leave/overtime stacking, the state would have saved $5 to $6 million out of a $28 million overtime total.

That is 20 percent reduction in overtime costs.

That is even assuming overtime is paid time and a half which is required under federal fair labor standards over 40 hours.

I'll forward you more when I get it. Just thought it would be good information for those wavering on collective bargaining and why it must change.
